The name isn't accurate. There doesn't appear to be a first breakfast shed and you can get food here long after night fall.
What you can get is a surprisingly long selection of Trini-style Chinese food, along with some of the island's traditional cuisine. For me, most Trini-Chinese dishes are too greasy and without much flavor, so I stuck to the other side of the menu.
I've seen photos of long lines here, but on my 9 p.m. Saturday night visit, there were no other diners.
I was able to assemble a plate of chickpeas, curry chicken and some cooked shrimp over a bed of rice for just over $10. It was too much food, but I made an effort.
I need to drop off a star for the state of the shrimp – they were small and tasted a bit rubbery. Their sauce almost made up for it, but this just wasn't the highest quality seafood. I have found memories from my time in Port of Spain of fish and shrimp, and it is disappointing to have it not taste the same here.
Service was friendly and accommodating – not always a given at a Caribbean restaurant I'm afraid – as they were able to explain all of the dishes currently on offer. There are quite a few Trini options in Flatbush, but this is one worth checking out.
I had a huge craving for bakes and salt fish so I figured I'd try this place out since its been bookmarked. Glad I did, and I was not disappointed. The bakes was not too oily, and the fish was not salty. I will definitely be back again.
